Capella Sydney occupies the beautifully restored Department of Education building, a Federation-era sandstone landmark near Circular Quay and steps from the Opera House and Botanic Garden. Its conversion was one of the most anticipated hotel openings in Australia.

The dining centers on Brasserie 1930, set beneath a soaring glass atrium and serving modern Australian cuisine, with the elegant McRae Bar and the Aperture lounge bar handling drinks.

For a Sydney stay at the historic heart of the city, Capella pairs heritage grandeur with contemporary polish.
